This isn’t even about the budget; it’s about Epstein. While the Republicans are out they don’t have to swear in any new members and allow a vote on the releasing the evidence. What is the endgame here? Does Trump think he can hide from the truth forever?
Good grief!!!
That’s what real Americans say everyday Trump is in office.
Bwahahahaha!!!
There is no ******* Epstein files, or Biden and his minions would have released them.
Biden and his minions weren’t like the current crop of fascists. That dog don’t hunt.
The Schumer Shutdown Firings Are Underway10 Oct 2025 ~~ By Katie Pavlich
The Schumer Shutdown Firings Are Underway
Federal government layoffs begin as Democrats refuse to fund essential services amidst shutdown.townhall.com
Permanent firings of federal government workers are underway as Senate Democrats continue their refusal to vote for a clean continuing resolution that doesn't fund National Public Radio or healthcare for illegal aliens.
"The RIFs have begun," Office of Budget and Management Director Russ Vought posted on X Friday. RIF is short for "reduction in force."
Before the shutdown, Vought explained what Democrats are demanding from Americans and at what cost.
During a meeting with his Cabinet Thursday and the Finnish President, President Donald Trump previewed the cuts as Democrats continue to play games.
Commentary:
The correct framing of the issue is why does the U.S. Senate require 60 votes for anything related to the budget?
If we care about “democracy”, (which the corporate media sometimes harps about IF it can use that term to denigrate Trump and MAGA), then elections must have consequences the minority gets no veto power over appropriations for discretionary spending.
In a Civil Society, one would think that the vast preponderance of the pep[e would agree on the 'Common Sense' things to do.
The filibuster used to be 67 votes to pass until some magic was performed by Mondale in 1975 to make it 60 votes.
If the vast preponderance don’t agree, do nothing.
Of course we could always go kinetic in the absence of common sense....
Cutting Federal employment is the only option in this case. The number of Federal Government civilian employees is approximately 2,000,000
Reduction In Force layoffs on Friday = 4,000, more to come on Monday and the day after.
Wake me up when the RIFs get to 500,000 then we'll be talking numbers.
But it does hunt. Biden even had Jack Smith illegally spy on US senators.
That's a lie. The phone records were subpoenaed as part of the investigation in to Dotard's plot to steal the election.
Many cuts in the private sector aren't "layoffs" due to bad business. They're just cutting senior people who've maxed their pay ceiling. Then, they hire new graduates. Nothing wrong with that, but lets call it for what is often the real reason.
Public sector also does this. It's nothing personal; just business.
Still no answer why if Trump is all over those files, Biden didn't release them to protect Democracy from the possibility of Trump winning! The lady doth protest to much me thinks!
Since Taylor Swift had more legal authority that Jack Smith, who got the "subpoena"?
Is that the point? I thought the point was the OP trying to assign blame on the senate Dem's as well as Dotard taking the opportunity to further divide the country by threatening to permanently lay off Dem's in yet another act of petulant retribution against people who did nothing more than not vote for him.
Just because the trump sock puppet named Aileen said Smith was not legally appointed, a matter that was never settled after it was appealed (Cannon's rulings in favor of the orange piece of shit had already been overturned twice before), doesn't mean the subpoenas Smith obtained were not valid.
They're just Internet trolls. Ignore them.You're mad, bro.
Biden had no obligation to do so.
Well these non-essential government workers cost us $400 million PER DAY so let's trim the fat.
